Scared myself...

Remember the trouble I had Friday night with this block?  Well, I figured out how to do it correctly - didn't figure out what I did wrong, though.  Basically, what I did was take it apart and flipped the one blue/black triangle and restitched it - and it fit.  I also went down to The Hen House and bought more of the same fabric and re-cut the squares that needed to be cut into 1/2 square triangles - this time I cut at 4 7/8" instead of cutting larger at 5".

Once all this was done, I was able to finish constructing the 4 blocks needed this month.

Last night, I finished my first embroidered block for my Vintage Tin quilt... (thought I took a pic, but guess I forgot).  Today, I traced the pattern for the next block and will work on it tonight while watching tv.

After doing the tracing for Vintage Tin, I decided that today would be the day that I would make the bowl cozies that I had told a relative that I would do for them.  There are two adults and five kids in the family so I made one for each member.  Mom & Dad are both EMT's and he's a volunteer firefighter ( or was) and I remembered seeing some firefighter scrap fabric in my stash the other day ( left from when I made gson Steven a quilt), so I used that to make their cozies... used Minnie Mouse fabric - along with Mickey Mouse fabric) for the youngest girl - the Minnie Mouse fabric was left from the apron and chef's hat I made her for Christmas.
The only son, I thought, might like a sports themed fabric and I had some; then used a cat print for one of the other girls, a horse print with cowboy/cowgirl boots print for another and a Nemo (the clowfish) type print for the last one.  I still need to sew the hems on the edges ( left from turning right side out) but can do that tonight while watching tv, too.  Then I'll try to find a box to pack them so that I can mail them off tomorrow while I'm sending pkgs to great grandkids in Texas and Holt, too.

Pretty much used up all of my batting for the cozies - was hoping there would be enough left to make my hubby a couple of the cozies using some of the Coca-Cola fabrics I have.  I'll just stick the fabric in the tub with the little scraps of batting I have left and when I get some more of the batting, I'll know where the fabric is to make them for him.

Guess that's all for today - actually, the weekend.  Tomorrow, I have to run errands ( get groceries & pay bills) so there probably won't be much done quilting wise.
